AMR Corporation files its exit plan with the bankruptcy court

AMR Corporation (Dallas/Fort Worth), the parent of American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) and American Eagle Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth), yesterday filed its reorganization plan to exit its Chapter 11 reorganization with the bankruptcy court in New York. This is a necessary step towards a merger with US Airways (Phoenix). Under the plan, outgoing CEO Tom Horton would receive a $19.9 million severance plan. This amount was previously rejected by the bankruptcy judge Sean Lane.

The merger is expected to be closed in the third quarter. However there are many merger issues that are still unresolved.

In other words, this new livery (above) could be short-term as it will soon be associated with the old (outgoing) AA management team. What changes (if any) to this new design created by Futurebrands will be now determined by the new American-US Airways integration team.
